Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Manuel Pellegrini has dropped £32m centre-back Eliaquim Mangala after his poor performance against Hull City at the weekend.
The French defender scored an own goal and gave away a penalty in Manchester City's 4-2 victory, and Pellegrini has opted for the more experienced Martin Demichelis in his place.
England No 1 Joe Hart has been restored to the line-up, as expected, while Jesus Navas has replaced James Milner on the right wing. Stevan Jovetic is fit enough for a place on the bench.
For Roma, who have won all six of their matches so far this season, Rudi Garcia has made three changes to the side that beat Hellas Verona 2-0.
Their usual goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis has a groin problem so Polish youngster Lukasz Skorupski comes in.

LINE-UPS:
Manchester City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy, Navas, Toure, Fernandinho, Silva, Aguero Dzeko.
Subs: Caballero, Sagna, Kolarov, Milner, Lampard, Jovetic, Mangala
Roma: Skorupski, Maicon, Manolas, Yanga-Mbiwa, Cole, Pjanic, Keita, Nainggolan, Florenzi, Totti, Gervinho.
